It’s the start of a brand-new year and we’re starting it off with a bang via a whole new range of mobile solutions to enable your Dell Client Solutions revenue growth.
With a focus on the ‘On-the-Go Pro’ persona, we’re driving our new 2-in-1 range to take advantage of this growth area in the notebook market. However, the PC sale is no longer just about selling to the IT department; we need to influence the users as well as the budget owners.
That’s why we’re taking a two-pronged approach to our messaging, to help you effectively close sales in the first quarter of the year. Each approach focuses on the core value we can deliver to employees. Messaging to the IT decision maker is about ease of deployment and how these highly portable solutions are incredibly secure. The messaging to users is all about how these new devices can improve productivity.
We’ve integrated services and accessories into this messaging to make it easier for you to attach, attach, attach and add even more value to your customers.
The Rise of the 2-In-1
According to IDC’s Worldwide 2017 Q3 Personal Computing Device Tracker report, convertibles are taking off among business users, growing at 33.6% worldwide year-on-year.*
Simply put: There’s never been a better time to help your customers plan and deploy their device upgrade strategy, based on decisions that help manage cost and time, while increasing productivity and flexibility.
The Perfect Companion for the ‘On-The-Go Pro’
Whether it’s cab riders or frequent fliers, the ‘On-the-Go Pro’ employee segment is growing rapidly. These users demand access to people, programs and data from anywhere, and want lighter, more portable devices that won’t slow them down. Not only that, but they need devices that allow them to rocket between apps and emails while multitasking quickly and securely, without getting tripped up on bulky cords or low battery power.
You can enable them by powering up their productivity with greater portability and connectivity. Combatible with the Intel® vPro™ platform, that is built for business, our lightweight convertible 2-in-1s offer super reliable and wireless mobile broadband connection to the office, the network and the team – no matter where they are. And with 39% of mobile workers juggling multiple devices** on the move, deploying 2-in-1s into the workforce basically turns the whole world into a highly productive workplace. Plus, we have the perfect compact accessories to reduce IT clutter and maximize productivity:
- Hybrid Power Companion acts as a power source for the 2-in-1 at the desk and a power bank for the 2-in-1 and smartphone when away.
- USB-C Mobile Adaptor keeps them connected, providing universal video & data connectivity and keeping the cable tucked out of sight.
